As part of the International Jazz Festival, two Uzbek ensembles took to the stage. The Jazzkent ensemble, together with the brass group of the State Philharmonic of Uzbekistan, presented a mesmerising jazz fusion performance in which the sounds of the nay and tanbur blended seamlessly with contemporary harmonies and vibrant improvisation. They were followed by the Soundtravel Jazz Quartet — pianist Yegor Vinnikov and his fellow musicians kept the audience thoroughly engaged, while vocalist Alexey Yarkin won the crowd over with his electrifying performance.
